In this episode of Hidden Brain, psychologist Brad Klontz discusses how individuals' financial challenges are often influenced by unconscious beliefs known as 'money scripts'. These scripts, developed from early experiences, shape our financial behaviors and attitudes. Klontz emphasizes the importance of identifying these scripts to reshape one’s relationship with money and reduce financial anxiety. He also explores various patterns like 'money avoidance' and 'money worship', and highlights the risks of a scarcity mindset formed from familial financial histories. Klontz encourages open discussions about money in relationships to foster understanding and break harmful cycles.
